Record breaking sales and footfall at Gloucester Quays Food Festival

Whether its bringing Christmas cheer or a gastronomic feast for the summer, Gloucester Quays prides itself on creating free events to drive footfall and add atmosphere to the city’s waterfront.

Its hugely popular extended Victorian Christmas Market and Ice Rink has become a firm fixture for shoppers wanting to get into the festive mood. It brings in coach parties and visitors from outside the city as well as many residents hoping to sample a mulled wine and take in the seasonal stalls.

Eastwood Digital has worked with Gloucester Quays to help create engaging, vibrant content to promote this event on its website and to the regional media.

This year, Gloucester Quays Food Festival returned to the leisure destination bringing with it big names in the culinary world such as Rosemary Shrager, Dean Edwards and Phil Vickery.

Once again, we helped provide content to promote the event to the local media and on social media with coverage on Gloucestershire Live and BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

The festival achieved record breaking sales and footfall with more than 116,000 people visiting the event.
